Got up and got prepared to go Casa mila. Upon reaching, there was a long queue for the tickets to enter. We then decided to give it a miss, since the tickets were quite costly, plus trip advisor mentioned that it was not really that good on the inside - only the roof top's beautiful.
We continued our journey and walked to Casa batllo.
The queue was shorter n we decided to go for it. The tour was fantastic! Audio guides were provided too! The house was really nicely built. A place for the rich!

After the tour, we bought a nice photo frame of the casa batllo in the souvenior shop. ;)
Palau de la Musica Catalana was next but too bad English guided tour was sold out for the rest of the day! Thus we went to get some postcards and then went to a place recommended by tripadvisor for brunch. :)
We went to La ramblas next and the shops there were all closed on Sunday! Wat a waste! No shopping for us. We walked the whole stretch of road n watch peddlers n performers along the street.
We got back to hotel after that, rested for a while and went to a shopping mall named maremagnum.
Outside the mall there's a display of a really cool car. We took some pictures of it and then went into the mall and do some shopping. I only manage to buy a cardigan. ;( We then had our dinner at a random restaurant and ordered 2 paellas. The servings were huge! (and they didnt taste good actually).
Here's a picture we took while walking back to the train station. It was really cold that night!
That was our last night.
Day 8 : Barcelona to Birmingham
Had breakfast with our stash collected over the past few days before taking the train to the airport.
Reached Manchester at 2.40pm n we immediately went to a cafe and have our lunch. We were so so hungry! Nice BBQ chicken wings and beef pie! For the nex three days, expenses in Birmingham will be reimbursable from his company - more or less. Woo hoo!
Took the train to Birmingham. We took an early train and luckily the conductor closed one eye n let us be on that train. Checked in at Marriott hotel - a little old n classic n situated right opp kk's new office building. Very nice office I must say!
That night, dear brought me to the center's shopping mall to have our nice dinner at Naados. I would be alone for the rest of the days in Birmingham while he's working.
